Biography of Olga Kurylenko
The future actress was born on November 14, 1979 in the Ukrainian town of Berdyansk. From childhood, the girl began to take a great interest in art. She gladly went to a music school for piano lessons, painted and took part in performances of a drama circle. Her mom and dad parted early, so Olga was raised by her mother's parents. She took her education very seriously. For this reason, the girl had excellent school performance and a desire to learn English at an early age. In those Soviet times, this was quite difficult to do.
Kurylenko dreamed of becoming a doctor like her grandmother. The girl did not think about any career as an actress and model. But as often happens in life, one lucky chance turned everything upside down. Once in 1992 Olga and her mother came to Moscow for a vacation. On the street they were noticed by a representative of a fashion agency and invited a beautiful girl to come to their casting. But Kurylenko was then only 13 years old. Age restrictions did not allow the girl to become a model.
But two years later, Olga returned to Moscow again and successfully passed the casting. A year later, the first contract was signed with her. And at the age of 17 she already successfully entered the best catwalks in the world. Kurylenko constantly starred for the covers of glossy magazines. She also became the face of the Nivea brand. At this time, the girl and her mother moved to Paris.
After a successful start to her modeling career, Olga decided to try her hand at cinematography. At first, these were minor roles in low-budget series. Then she starred in 2005 in the erotic film "Finger of Love", which brought her first fame. Then Kurylenko appeared in such films as "Paris, I love you" and "Amulet".
The first serious role of the young actress was the film "Max Payne", based on the computer game of the same name. After that, she was invited to become another James Bond girlfriend in the film "Quantum of Solace". Olga successfully coped with this role and received worldwide recognition.
Then Kurylenko continued her work with the best directors in the world. During this time, she managed to star in more than 20 films. The most famous films in her track record are Water Seeker, Centurion, Two in the Universe, and so on. In 2018 Olga takes part in the filming of the film Breathe in the Dark.
In addition to acting, Kurylenko does not forget the work of the model. She regularly appears in photo shoots and appears on the covers of glossy fashion magazines around the world.
Personal life of the actress
Since childhood, a beautiful girl has attracted the attention of the male half of humanity. But at first, she was tightly engaged in her career and rarely started a serious relationship. At the age of 20, Olga married the French photographer Cedric Van Mol. After a few years, their marriage fell apart. The second husband of the girl was businessman Demian Gabriell, with whom they lived together for only one year.
After that, Kurylenko began to carefully hide her personal life. In 2015, Olga began dating actor Max Benitz, from whom she soon gave birth to a child, a boy, Alexander. Now the actress is raising her son and very rarely appears in public.
